that makes me just through all my frugality out the window? Since the season has begun, I haven't clipped a coupon, my inserts are mounting. I have been buying and haven't sat down to think of how much I have spent total,(I thought I was only buying 3 gifts per child) I have been a regular at Starbucks and McDonald's. Oh and needless to say I have been attending the WW meetings, but track points..who are we kidding! I should be ashamed of myself. Is anyone else like me right now?
I'm usually so good.

I know what you mean , and I blame all my money " problems" on this Type of thing

I Swear that it is IMPOSSIBLE to save 100% of the time with Kids and Life in general -
Sometimes you just don't have the time.
I also think it Makes me crazier trying to Be so careful about money constanly.
All of my friends with kids are the same way!!

I could not agree more......

I have been spending... and spending.... and I justify by saying.... we need to treat ourselves once a year.

I have went over board with gifts for Dh (no children to buy for yet) becuase he works so hard to be the main provider all year and normally gets very little material things he buys NOTHING for himself. So I want him to be happy.......*!*!*

I have also not clipped one coupon since Thanksgiving.........................
